Cleaning Cell at NASA Michoud Assembly Facility

Looking down into the massive cleaning cell inside the Vertical Assembly Center at NASA Michoud Assembly Facility.

The massive washing facility is used to wash the insides of the Space Launch System(SLS) fuel tanks. The SLS rocket will be the world’s largest rocket ever built.
